The git wrapper executable always prepends the GIT_EXEC_PATH build

The --exec-path option allows to prepend a directory to PATH even
before
GIT_EXEC_PATH (which is added anyway), so we can use that instead.
Hmm. This will probably stop working when you do not have git
installed,
because you now tell git to search for git programs in ".", where
they are
not. Probably git-commit executes your installed write-tree, commit-
tree
and friends, instead of the compiled ones.
You are wrong there. From exec_cmd.c:setup_path() (lines 51-54):
add_path(&new_path, argv_exec_path);
add_path(&new_path, getenv(EXEC_PATH_ENVIRONMENT));
add_path(&new_path, builtin_exec_path);
add_path(&new_path, cmd_path);
So the path with this patch will still include the build directory
before the install location.
